When Fang Min and Ye Lin saw Fu Wan swimming over, they quickly lowered the rope ladder. Fu Wan climbed two steps of the ladder with the net in her hand before lifting the net up, indicating that they should take it away first.
Even with the net bag in her hand, she had difficulty climbing the rope ladder.
After climbing up in a few steps, Fu Qing grabbed Fu Wan's hand and pulled her onto the deck.
"Ah Wan, you're amazing! You actually dared to ride a whale!"
Fu Qing was amazed, and Fu Wan took off her diving hood and immediately burst into laughter.
If she said that the baby killer whale automatically became her mount, would they believe her?
"Waaah!"
The calls of orcas could still be heard from the side of the boat, and Fu Wan then noticed that the baby orca was still there. Before she could catch her breath, she immediately stood up, bracing herself against the deck.
"Fang Min, are there any fish on deck?"
"Yes, there are baskets of small yellow croakers that haven't been moved into the cold storage yet."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan looked around and indeed saw a basket of decent-looking small yellow croakers not far away.
Okay, use this to pay the fare!
Thinking of this, Fu Wan stepped forward to move the fish basket, and at the same time, she didn't forget to instruct Fang Min:
"Quick, find me a winnowing basket for scooping fish."
Upon hearing this, Fang Min hurriedly ran to the pile of tools next to her to search for something. They had special small sieves for sorting fish, and Fu Wan had specially bought plastic ones for easy cleaning.
This winnowing basket is somewhat similar to a garbage shovel used in later times, except it lacks the handle in the middle of the shovel. Of course, besides sorting fish, this winnowing basket can also be used to scoop fish.
"Ah Wan, here you go!"
Fang Min handed the winnowing basket to Fu Wan, who quickly took it, found a wide spot on the side of the boat that was far from the fishing nets, and then took out the bamboo whistle she carried with her and blew it in the direction of the baby killer whale.
"Whoosh~"
The sound of the bamboo whistle is actually more like a bird's call. The sound is crisp and melodious, and it sounds very different from those seabirds that can only cackle.
This is why the baby orca was able to distinguish whether it was a bird call or Fu Wan calling to it.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the baby orca did not respond, Fu Wan patiently blew the whistle twice more. The next second, the baby orca recognized the sound of the whistle and immediately responded with two calls.
"Waaah!"
"Come here, I'll treat you to some fish!"
Fu Wan tapped the railing on the side of the boat twice and called out to the baby killer whale. Although the yellow croaker is not as good as the manta ray, it is still one of the fish that humans like to eat, and Fu Wan wanted the baby killer whale to have a taste.
Soon, the baby killer whale swam excitedly to the side of the boat. Fang Min, Fu Qing, and the others were dumbfounded, and their breathing became lighter.
"Come on, open your mouth, I'm going to pour it directly into your mouth."
"Ah, do it this way!"
Fu Wan gestured for the baby orca to open its mouth, and the baby orca, which was quite intelligent, immediately opened its mouth.
As soon as the baby orca opened its mouth, Fu Wan was about to pour the small yellow croaker in her hand into its mouth, but when she squinted, she discovered that there was actually a stingray bone stuck in the baby orca's teeth!
Judging from the condition around the teeth, the stingray bone must have been caught when it was hunting today. If I hadn't suddenly decided to pay the fare today, this little guy probably wouldn't have noticed until his gums were swollen and infected.
Most importantly, I might not even be at sea at that time, and the baby killer whale would definitely suffer.
"Brother Lin, could you hold this winnowing basket for me? I need to go downstairs."
Fortunately, the rope ladder hadn't been put away yet, and Fu Wan quickly went down the rope ladder. When the little orca saw her coming down, it closed its mouth and called out to her twice.
"Waaah!"
"Still howling! Didn't you even notice the thorn stuck in your teeth?" Fu Wan complained, then pried open the baby orca's mouth with her hands.
"Why!"
Fu Shi gasped softly, then immediately covered his mouth, afraid of disturbing the baby killer whale that was so close by.
Heavens above, Goddess Mazu, Fu Wan actually dared to pry open the mouth of an orca!
That's amazing! It's the first time he's ever seen what an orca's mouth looks like!
Moreover, the orca did not struggle at all; basically, as soon as Fu Wan touched its mouth, it obediently opened its mouth wide.
A familiar, fishy stench wafted towards her, and even though Fu Wan had held her breath beforehand, she was still forced to shift her body back by the stench.
Oh dear, maybe next time I should consider buying an extra-large toothbrush so I can brush the teeth of the baby killer whale when I run into it?
After the taste from the baby killer whale's mouth had dissipated, Fu Wan felt the edge of the poisonous stinger, found a good spot to apply force, and then pulled hard, successfully removing the stinger.
"Alright, be careful next time. Remember to spit out the bones when you eat fish!"
Especially stingrays. Although killer whales are immune to stingray venom, they still suffer from bleeding and swollen gums caused by the stinger getting stuck in their teeth for a long time.
Toothache isn't a disease, but it can be excruciating.
This statement applies not only to humans, but also to the powerful killer whale.
Fu Wan waved the poisonous stinger in front of the baby killer whale, signaling it to remember what it looked like. Then, in front of the baby killer whale, she threw the stinger into the sea.
"Did you remember that? You can't swallow this, you have to throw it away!"
"Waaah!"
Whether it understood or not, it barked at Fu Wan twice more. Not only that, it also dived into the water and spewed a jet of water. The spray was so intense that even Boss Fu, who was watching the commotion from the side of the boat, could feel it.
Fu Wan wiped the seawater off her face. That's just how orcas are; they spout water not because they dislike it, but as a way of expressing their happiness.
"Give me the fish!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin hurriedly handed it over. After Fu Wan took it, the little orca smelled the fishy smell and came closer again.
"Here you go, this little fish is just a token of my appreciation. It may not taste as good as a manta ray, but it's a small token of my goodwill. Thank you for carrying me for so long!"
"Waaah!"
With the fish right in front of its mouth, the baby killer whale instinctively opened its mouth wide. Fu Wan suddenly felt like playing a prank and deliberately put two small yellow croakers in its mouth.
Yellow croakers are small to begin with, and two yellow croakers are no different from two ants to an orca.
Seeing that Fu Wan had stopped putting fish into her mouth, the little orca whimpered twice more, urging her to hurry up.
"Haha, you do know how to be in a hurry. If you eat stingray without spitting out the bones next time, let's see how you'll eat fish when your teeth start to hurt!"
"Uh-huh!"
Hearing the baby orca's response, Fu Wan poured all the fish in her hand into the baby orca's mouth. She had filled it very full, but after pouring it into the baby orca's mouth, it didn't even take up half the space.
"Can one of you scoop some more fish for me?"
Fu Wan handed the winnowing basket to Fang Min and the others, but Fu Qing grabbed it and said, "I'll do it, I'll feed the whales too!"
With the child so happy, no one dared to take it from her. Soon, Fu Qing returned excitedly carrying a full winnowing basket. Fu Wan took it and poured it into the little orca's mouth, which it swallowed whole. Fu Wan couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
No, what we're saying is, if you eat this fast, how can you even taste the fish?
